Self portrait sites

I gave a list of sites to TYs today to help develop ideas for their own self portraits. A few of them might be worth examining for life drawing and art history too. Here are the details:
www.portrait-artist.org
You need to click on the area you want to look at then click the links at the bottom of the page. Explore them for inspiration and step-by-step tutorials.
www.npg.org.uk/learning/digital/portraiture/drawing-self-portraits.php
This is the site of the British National Portrait Gallery. This link leads to a picture of an artist and some blue links in the box beside him. There's loads of information here, have a look especially at Games (try some) and This Is Me. Experiment and have fun!
www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/nof/portraits/index.html
This is the portrait detectives homepage. Click on the images for tours and quizzes.
